I have tried several of these desktop alarm clocks. They all have + or -. Overall, this is my favorite. The alarms are great and fool proof with lots of options. I don't really use the nap timers and I don't know anyone who does. However, with a little modification these nap timers could be great "pill" timers for when to take medications. I would like to see this done. There seem to be no good medication timers. I use a MS Surface Pro with no problems. Also works with 2ed screen.

I have an iPad, Android and Windows tablets so I have tested and used many Alarm Clock Apps across those platforms. This App has the best features and beauty out of any other app I've used (across all platforms!). Very easy to program with way more features than a $2.50 app should have. Kinda makes me wish I had a 'spare' windows tablet just to hang on the wall with this app running 24/7.

I have been using another alarm app but it had to be in the foreground to work. This one has so many features and options. Well worth the money I paid for it. Many different backgrounds and several alarms sounds. I tried several other alarm apps and this is the best one by far. The trial last for one week and I was able to use all the functions that I wanted before buying the full version.

It looks nice, it has all kinds of options, themes, sounds,-- all the bells and whistles and responsive support. Works fine on my yoga 13 Win 8 machine. Worth the cost. Hope it helps dev continue to work on this & other win 8 apps

Professional, Well Thought Out, User Friendly, Has All Kinds Of Options
This Is The Way All Apps Should Be Programmed. Triple AAA Rated By Me ! You Can't Go Wrong With This App. I Do Have One Idea For A Future Update. Could You All An Option To Use This As A screen Saver. Clock, Weather, The Actual Clock Screen. It Is Too Beautiful Not To !!! Keep Up The Awesome Job You Are Doing. Keep Me Posted As To Any Future Apps You Create !!! Thank You !

I really like the app as it has just enough extra features that are perfect to see when you wake up. I will admit however that l'm having a bit of difficult getting it to sound the alarm from nighttime setting ... it's probably me and not the app.
3 March 2013
After reviewing the app all this past week with the trial version, I opted to pay for it since it worked exactly as advertised. Like the layout and like the options offered.
28 February 2013
Kudos to the devs who built this: a lot of great features, well thought out. I encourage anyone to give it a test drive for a week - you'll see what a sophisticated app this truly is.
16 February 2013
Works exactly as advertised. Very reliable.
16 February 2013
Especially like the customization capabilities. Looking forward to updates.
11 February 2013
Best alarm clock here. Beautiful theme photos and multiple, repeating alarm settings.
6 February 2013
Full featured, reliable, with many options, including very nice photograph themes. Many options allow multiple alarms, ringtones, fade in-out alarms, snooze, wake from standby, napping, customization of themes and sounds. 6-day full featured trial so you can check it out thoroughly, and well worth the purchase price for full version.

Hi,
To show °C, go to Charm bar > Settings > Widgets > Set "Use US units" to false.
You'll find user help in the app itself (top app-bar > Help).

I love it!!!!

I wanted a simple alarm app, and this is honestly a lot more comprehensive than I expected it to be. There's a lot of attention to detail in this app.
28 January 2013
This app was really good. I can't wake up in the morning without an alarm, and this is the best app I've had so far. It has effects, and you get to choose a background, and music to play. It would be much better if it was free, but I LOVE this app. I totally recommend it. Im going to buy it soon.
17 January 2013
LOVE THIS APP
16 January 2013
Everything you need. Tried lots of others and they had one or two features, but this has them all. Note to Developer... add some Space backgrounds.
14 January 2013
First, know that this is an active dev that provided prompt support to an incompatibility problem.
The app is an always on alarm which mimics your lockscreen, can use toast notifications and has a massively customizable list of features. Day/Night backgrounds, ringtones, RSS news viewer with built in feeds, auto fading, snooze and wake up tests (3 levels).
Now has weather, thanks Dev!

For those complaining about setup, this app is about as simple/stupid as you can get without it being in the iTunes store... it should be obvious that if your device is off it will not wake you.
That being said, this app is beautiful, and easily customizable. My only complaint (if you want to let me use that strong of a word) is that I agree with others who wish there were some louder, more obnoxious sounds to wake deeper sleepers like myself - but even this is customizable, add your sounds...
9 January 2013
Great app!!! Would be great to have weather.
2 January 2013
I especially like how I can set it to make me do a math problem before it will turn off. I've never had THAT in an alarm clock before :)
31 December 2012
I don't have a word to describe the awesomeness of this app. Definitely a must have app. Love it!
30 December 2012
I am amazed, developer has put so many features into this alarm app. Definitely worth the price.
30 December 2012
I can finally render the iPad to my toddler 100%!!!! I needed it for an alarm clock, until now. Not only did this meet the task head on with required options, it exceeded the expectation with additional options and customization that I would have expected further down the road. Thank you and bravo Zulu to the dev. Very well done!!!
29 December 2012
Love this app, you will not be disappointed, the only alarm app to get, love the slow wake up! And I never have given + review only - ones
28 December 2012
Like that you can use your own songs and background images. Also, took me a while to figure out but also can save multiple alarms, this will work quite nicely for business trips
27 December 2012
The app is simply amazing. Very functional and practical. It is one of the best applications of Store. The developers knew perfectly using the design principles of Windows 8 and built this fantastic app. It has many useful features, like the ability to choose a custom music for the alarm, change the overall theme of the app and even a flashlight! Congratulations to the developers!
